I think you would need government assistance to help you get by with that much. Also thats if the company paid you 40hrs which they won’t cuz then they would have to pay full-time with insurance blah blah blah. 16k a year plus well fare man the American dream is dead. > > On a side note the auto bailout was actually started by the republicans by a guy named GW Bush. > [George W.

So for those who say they can’t make it work I say bullshit. It’s not a comfortable lifestyle and if you want to make a nice living you have to work hard and progress from there. The problem is exactly what is stated above, people are freakin lazy and want shit handed to them. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/hostess-out-of-business-18-500-jobs-to-be-lost/265503)._
